Faithful To Their 'Things' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Raw and sugarless...
That's the reality,
Many will be forced to see...
As 2011 continues on its journey.

Many and not a few,
Are going to view the days ahead...
As if visiting unaided by delusions,
For the very first time.

Crimes by those still blind,
Will be commited...
To try to bling and ca-ching their way,
To impress someone in those dead days gone.

Prolonged agonies attached to things,
Will remind those of Moses' return...
From the summit of Mount Sinai.
But even that symbolic image...
Will fly over heads,
Like a peeping satellite!

Raw and sugarless...
That's the reality,
Many will be forced to see...
As 2011 continues on its journey.

Leaving many to fight over the worthlessness,
Of possessions still taxed.
But as long as they gleam and glisten,
They will find a reason and meaning to live...
As faithful to their 'things',
As a marketing of them will allow!
